How many goodly creatures are there here! :: GAME OPENER

Welcome to Baedal.

These are the first words newcomers hear when the door opens and they are invited into their new world. Some fuss, some fight, some need time before they have the courage to step outside. Others, shell-shocked or jaded, go quietly along with the proceedings.

They are given brief instructions; a repeat of what's described in the pamphlet and a door key.

Please stay in your room. There will be dinner soon.

It's been almost a day for some. For others, only an hour's wait. The latest newcomer is lead straight from the arrival room to the dining hall where candles and lanterns have been set out to compensate for failing electricity. (Those who have been here longer explain about rolling blackouts.) The food, however, is warm, varied and plentiful. Seating is open, and less conventional chair are available to those who need them.

There are many strange faces around the table, the majority of these recent arrivals. The proprietor of the Valhalla Inn is here, as is some of her staff. The Sheriff of Mog Hill is introduced, his function detailed. The reason for the dinner is explained:

It's a celebration. A new cohort has finally been officiated; CeidaryBlue523. Your cohort. Please. Introduce yourself. Mingle. Get to know your fellows, they will be your brothers and sisters for as long as you live in this city.

"As with any division some people feel the need to be blinkered fools, but for the most part, it's not an issue. I know that at least one of the nightstaff here is xenian." He is, in fact, a feathery, fuzzy sort of not-dragon that likes pizza and is vicious at cribbage.

"Legally, it's only the most severe breaches of the peace that I can charge and deal with, but..." But it's not something Norrington will stand for on his watch.

"I suppose I should've expected it'd be something like that," Hellboy says ruefully. He extends his hand again. "Well, thank you for your time, Sheriff. I'll try not to make your burden any heavier."

"It's been no trouble at all," he says with something that might be just a hint of a smile. He had come over in part to be polite, but also in part to know just what sort of person he was dealing with in Hellboy, and he seems pleased with what he's seen.
